ACMobility, the mobility arm of the Ayala Group, begins 2026 on a high note with two prestigious workplace awards that underscore its dedication to cultivating a purpose-driven, people-centric organization within the Philippine automotive industry.
These dual recognitions—awarded by the Top Employers Institute (TEI) and Great Place to Work Philippines —serve as both global and employee-led validations of ACMobility’s best practices. They reinforce the company’s unwavering commitment to fostering a positive culture, building trust, and enhancing the employee experience.
Top Employer Institute Certification 2026
In January, ACMobility was officially awarded the Top Employer 2026 Certification by TEI in Singapore. This marks its second consecutive year receiving this honor, highlighting its ongoing commitment to strengthening its people practices and nurturing a vibrant workplace culture.
This achievement builds upon ACMobility’s historic milestone in 2025, when it became the first automotive company in the Philippines to earn TEI certification. This pioneering recognition set a new industry benchmark for exemplary human resource strategies and workplace excellence.
The Top Employer certification recognizes organizations that excel in HR policies, employee development, and cultivating a positive work environment. ACMobility’s consecutive recognitions reflect its sustained investment in its workforce and its commitment to advancing its mobility ecosystem.
Great Place to Work® Philippines Certification
Complementing this milestone, ACMobility has also received the prestigious Great Place to Work® Philippines Certification—an internationally recognized standard for outstanding employee experience.
This certification, based solely on direct employee feedback, measures key aspects such as trust, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie within the organization. It is regarded globally as a definitive mark of an employer of choice, providing valuable insights that help organizations continuously improve their culture and employee engagement.
In the recent survey, an impressive 87 percent of ACMobility employees expressed confidence in their workplace. This high level of trust reflects the genuine care, camaraderie, and “malasakit” (kindness and concern) that employees across ACMobility’s offices, dealerships, and mobility divisions nationwide experience daily.
“These recognitions affirm that our people and cultural practices are not only well-structured but truly felt by our employees,” said Ariane Nava, Chief People Officer of ACMobility. “As we continue to grow and shape the future of mobility in the Philippines, we remain committed to creating an environment where our people feel supported, empowered, and proud of the work they do.”
